Live in Thanksgiving Daily

There seems to be something almost magical about November 1st. It is a day almost everyone realizes it's time to think about what we are grateful for. This year has been an eye opening one for me. I have seemed to be more aware than ever that I have taken far too many things in my life for granted. And while I have tried to be more aware and grateful, I could definitely do better to follow the counsel given in Alma that tells us to "live in thanksgiving daily."

Robert D. Hales said, "Gratitude on a daily basis means we express appreciation for what we have now without qualification for what we had in the past or desire in the future." I love that! No matter what our circumstances are, there is always something to be grateful for - today!

Each day in November I will be adding a different "gratitude" quote or scripture. I have created a new category called "Thirty Days of Gratitude." This will be at the top of the library page for the month of November. After that, they will move to the bottom of the library page and also in a "Thanksgiving" category on the gallery page. The quotes will also be added to their appropriate categories.

If you have a favorite quote or scripture you would like me to do, just send me the information using the request page.

I love this quote by Dieter F. Uchtdorf! I thought it would be a great way to start off the month!
